Q&A with Gloria F.

mattsam asked:

Wow, simply wow. How did you get the glossy serpent look on the shoe?

Gloria F. answered:

Hi Mattsam, I actually use the basketball template press for cookies to make all those tiny marks. I also steamed the fondant with a hand steamer.

Expressbydesign asked:

That's gorgeous ! I would like to make that for my grandson. Please tell me how you did the shoe laces

Gloria F. answered:

shoe laces are the easiest on this cake. I used an extruder to make the laces and I cut my laces to reach each shoe lace hole (cris-cross). I pinched the portion of the "Lace" together and used the end of my paintbrush to place them in each hole. But the extruder is very helpful, if you have a michaels, use their 40% off for an extruder in the clay section. Same make and type they sell at online cake shops, but you get almost half off ;)
